I'm on board. We'll have to narrow our focus at first, so that our objective is achievable, and affordable. By the time we're done, the kit may be cost prohibitive. I think it's a noble cause, and wor ...

Bill J, anymore progress, and pics? What are you going to use for the long truck arms, and their mounts to the X-member frame. What do you have in mind for the front suspension, and clip? Thanks for s ...

It's a lot more involved than that. I think I've gone over it before but in brief in order to lower the front end on Revell b-body Mopars, you have to cut into the floor pans to correct the torsion ba ...

The DOH roll cage is not complete, and you'll need the Petty, or Baker kit cage to be complete. There are other NASCAR race goodies missing in the DOH kit, but since you're going curbside, they may no ...

Personally, I think it'd be great to have a correct, basic, race ready MoPar chassis. Both early, and later versions. It'd save me from wasting two, three, or more kits just to get some basic race com ...

Only until NASCAR or the NHRA changes the rules. What basic design now makes roughly twelve thousand horsepower and still rules the ultimate drag racing class? It ain't a Ford or Chevy!!! See comment ...

I believe that the NASCAR Sportsman, and Limited Sportsman division rules required you to use a street car frame for the '57 Chevy you're wanting to build. Later on when the Sportsman Division became ...

If you like those headers on the JJ/Lee Roy car, a similar set was in the AMT '70/'71 Cobra kit. Not easy or cheap to acquire. You might try scratchbuilding them. (something to pull you further down t ...

There are several different materials, microns, and patterns of the mesh screen, as with the real thing. We used to get our various mesh screens from McMaster Carr, and Grainger, when I was the Parts ...

I'm trying to build a 1/16th scale Daytona using the conversion kit I just recently received, and I'm using the DOH Charger as a starting point. The conversion kit came with no instructions, so I pull ...

Are you talking about the 1/16th scale Baker/Petty Charger kits being junk, or the PLs 1/25th scale Charger being junk? The PLs Charger body is all wacked out, and isn't even the year body that is pic ...

The MPC Baker/Petty kits have the, as close to correct, front chassis/k-member racing mods that the factory MoPar teams used back then, at least by my persona[ observations, correct? Would be nice to ...

I think something that might frighten a lot of people is how some of us get to talkin about very specific details of these cars. It's not about rivet Counting to me, it's about the history. An example ...

So... the question arises for me at least. When exactly did the MoPar teams start eliminating/modifying the k-members, and front frame rails on the NASCAR builds? With the introduction of the 426 c.i. ...

Appears to me that the sealed kit was probably subjected to heat at some point in it's life, and possibly the plastic bag may have been in contact with the hood. Thus, possibly leaving a residue mark ...

Hi all! I'm finally back, new username ,formerly bill collector,its good to be back.it was a bummer that site crashed and it took me this long to re-register.here is a question, can BMF chrome be clea ...

The novice Builder needs to understand that to convert one of the Revell Chargers into an accurate replica of a Grand National Car you looking at everything from the firewall forward pretty much needs ...

Until someone gets one of these and cracks it open, we won't know if it's the same as the original (meaning misleading box art) OR if they have updated the chassis to include a more full roll cage and ...

I speak slot cars! I don't want anybody accusing me of being an attention whore, so I'm really happy to see somebody else bring the subject up. One of these days I'll get things straight and be able t ...

I'm going to stick to my guns and state again if you got an original MPC Brooks Daytona and you want the two cars to look good together, get one of the MPC reissue kits. Isaac Torino, Donnie Allison ...

Awhile back bought this kit to convert it to a Dodge Daytona; I have the nose but have lost the rear wing in our move. I have finally a place to start working on this project; along with others, is t ...
